Abstract:Suppose that (M, g) and (M′, g′) are Lorentz manifolds, and that f: MM′ is a bijection, such that f and f-1 preserve spacelike paths (f: MM′ has this property, if for any spacelike path γ: JM in (M ,g), the composition fγ: JM′ is a spacelike path in (M′, g′)). Then f is a (manifold-) homeomorphism.This statement is the ‘spacelike’ version of an analogous ‘timelike’ theorem (Hawking, King and McCarthy 6] and Göbel 2] for strongly causal, and Malament 10] for general Lorentz manifolds).With this result it is possible to prove a conjecture of Göbel 3] which states that every bijection between time-orientable n-dimensional (n ? 3) Lorentz manifolds which preserves spacelike paths is a conformal C-diffeomorphism.
